Who Won the BMW Championship Last Year?



Keegan Bradley held his nerve during the final round to clinch victory in the 2024 BMW Championship at Castle Pines, near Denver.

The 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain came into Sunday with a one-shot lead from Australia's Adam Scott, who drew level after the opening hole.

But a run of three straight bogeys by Scott, from the 10th hole onwards, gave Bradley a lead he would not relinquish.

The 38-year-old, who also won the BMW Championship in a play-off with Justin Rose in 2018, bogeyed the last to finish with a level-par 72, on 12 under for the week.
